Seriously? You can't compare a luxury item like a sports car, or a magical "government startup insurance" with medicine. Neither of those other two items realistically reduce actual pain and suffering, while providing health care universally can definitely be shown to.

I'm a Canadian and quite happy with our socialized health care. It's one of the reasons that I've been able to make the leap into entrepreneurship - I'm on my third product now. I have no pre-existing conditions, but I know that I'll receive no life-ruining bills from the government if something does change in my health situation.
